What do you think makes a kid take his fathers gun and go into his school and shoot everybody??

Question

I'm curious what can posibly influence a young child in taking a gun and start killing people??

Answer 1

insanity... or what environment he grew up in and how he was raised..

Answer 2

Younger children (elementary school age) don't usually know yet how serious the consequences are to do that and they just think that it'll make these kids stop being mean to them. High school aged kids that do this are usually the calloused, hardened teens who just don't care anymore and want to "teach someone a lesson"....the ultimate lesson.

Answer 3

Sadly kids can be cruel. If you don't fit into the Old Navy commerical than you are ridiculed and tortured. You look goth you get picked on. You are gay you are tortured in school. All people want is to be accepted for who they are. It is hard to go to school everyday to have people torture based on how you dress instead of who you are.

Answer 4

Being bullied and having no control over it. Having a gun puts you in charge. Immediately.

Answer 5

Insanity

Peer Presure

Bullies

Abusive parents

Drugs

Alchohol

Just plain old stupidity

Trying to copycat other high-profile school shootings
